I was disappointed. Actually take that back, I was beyond disappointed, I was downcast. The reason is because of a recent purchase of mine. Since my birthday was not that long ago, I decided to buy a few things for myself. While most of the items turned out to be awesome, there is one that I am pretty disappointed with. The item I am disappointed in is the smart thermostat. I have been wanting to improve my home’s heating and cooling comfort, and you can’t go wrong with a very modern, brand new technology HVAC smart thermostat. I looked at all of the reviews and a lot of people were having fantastic luck with theirs, so why was my HVAC thermostat giving wrong readings? I briefly wondered if it could be an issue with my heating and A/C device, but that wouldn’t make sense, because I only started having issues after installing this new thermostat. My previous thermostat had issues as well, but I was used to those issues. Honestly, I just kind of figured that the programmable thermostat was old and messing up, which was even more reason why to get a new thermostat. Although I felt close to giving up, I first needed to get a professional’s opinion, and I am so glad I did! The professional heating and A/C technician took one look at the smart thermostat and told me it wasn’t an issue with the smart thermostat at all, it was the placement. The new thermostat was placed right next to a sunny window, and the sun shining on the thermostat was giving false readings. That’s also why my previous thermostat also had issues.
